What Nintendo started four years ago with the Wii, both Sony and Microsoft are now attempting to take to the next level with PlayStation Move and Kinect – two vastly different approaches to the motion gaming field. While Microsoft won't be shipping Kinect until November 4, PlayStation Move has been on store shelves since the middle of this month.
A group of surgeons made headlines after they managed to perform an endoscopic procedure on a pig located in Hong Kong by using PlayStation controllers. It involved the use of a PS5 DualSense controller as well as a PlayStation Move controller.
Yet another powerful device Sony gave up supporting. KZ3 move was one of the best motion controller implementation ever
That's really cool. It's crazy something like that is possible with gaming controllers 1000's of miles away.
Air Conflicts: Secret Wars debuted in 2011, and later updated for modern consoles. However, it's the PlayStation 3 edition that stands out.
Joy Ride Turbo launched 10 years ago today. The first title was Xbox Kinect exclusive, yet this sequel failed to support the device at all.
Interesting write up. I pretty much agree with the author that Move works well, but I just don't see it selling a ton.
look at the sales of the wii, people want that. the biggest difference, to me, is that the wii does not have any hardcore games, its for kids mostly. the move is more precise, the graphics are better, and there are casual games and hardcore games that utilize the controller. My parents are almost 70 and my dad and mother played a video game for the first time, it was wii bowling, he asked me how much it would cost to get a wii, I told him about the playstation move and getting the bundle is cheaper than getting a wii. so the demand is there.
another point is microsoft's kinect. good direction but you still want feedback, I pretty sure one company is going to bring back the power glove, or gloves that can give you texture and feel. the technology does exsist, something I think microsoft should have invested in before introducing kinect.
It will sell well enough. It is just a controller. It doesn't have to sell 10 million or anything. As long as their is interest in it and Sony and the developers support it,it will be fine.I don't know where people got the idea Sony was competing directly with the Wii. I never heard them say that up to this day.
The move indeed is good hardware, but since A LOT of gamers dont go on gaming sites, I bet you tons of people don't know sony's move but know kinect, its because microsoft has been advertising more. This morning I saw a kinect ad 3 times on tv.
That said, I just cant see move selling A lot, but enough to keep sony happy.
@below - really? then their showing it to the wrong people, as many people say, "it caters to the hardcore". Sure it also shows casual games, but at the moment I dont see one i like.
the only thing that will sell wii numbers is the 3ds. It will be an epidemic how well it sells. I see kinect catching on for xmas and selling well but not wii numbers. Move will do alright over time.
